Nikki Storm Details How She Was Included In Wyatt Sicks, Looks Back On Group’s Debut

A look back at The Wyatt Sicks from Nikki Storm’s lens.

The backend of Nikki Storm a.k.a. Nikki Cross’ time with WWE was spent as a member of The Wyatt Sicks with Bo Dallas, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, and Erick Rowan. The entire group was released from the company in April 2026.

Storm spoke about how she got involved with The Wyatt Sicks group while chatting with Chris Van Vliet.

“So I was playing the Nikki A.S.H. character; she had been turned villain, she had turned heel on Rhea Ripley, she was a heel, and then at that point the creative had changed, and Triple H loved the Nikki Cross, the SAnitY character, because when I started at NXT in 2016, and it was Triple H, SAnitY was his brainchild. So he always loved Nikki Cross as that little crazy, little gremlin, mischievous, like wild Tasmanian devil. So we made the switch to that, and I don’t know when, but I think at that point Triple H started to think about me being in the Wyatt Sicks. So I think that’s how we kind of got from NickI A.S.H. to Abby the Witch. We went back to Nikki Cross, and then it was something was happening. That was when you saw me staring off into the distance, because I think at that point in the creative’s mind they were like, we want to start to tell this story. We’re not there yet because we’ve not debuted the Wyatt Sicks yet, so we’ll have people know that something is going on in our head. I’m a little crazy anyway, so it wasn’t a big wide stretch. So it was, you know, being in the trance, and something is going on there in kind of Easter eggs and the slow-term storytelling, which I think the creative likes that kind of longer style.”

She went on to speak about the group’s television debut on Monday Night Raw.

“The debut was special, and that’s going to live forever. I think that’s going to live forever in people’s minds. It was such a perfect debut; I was the first one to crawl out. I remember that day in rehearsals. It’s the same pressure I put on myself: Do not ruin this. Do not ruin this crawl. I was like thinking about everything: how I want to move my elbows and my arms and my hands. But you also can’t overthink. You also have to kind of let go and follow your instincts. And at this point, I trust my instincts better than I trust anything else. So, it was such a mixture of get this right, but enjoy the moment.”

Storm’s last match for WWE was in December 2024 at a house show.
